About this work

This sketch shows three people sitting close together on a flat surface. One person is holding a small object, maybe a cup or a pipe. The background is simple—just a faint outline of a hill or building. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The artist used a technique called drypoint, which means they scratched into a metal plate to make the lines. The paper has a light, almost ghostly feel to it.
